The quote I got for centerpieces (12), bouquets (6, including mine) and bouts/corsages (14 total) was $1,500, which included tax and delivery. It was another $750-900 to do ceremony decorations (a large floral arrangement for the top of the arch/gazebo, and some pew decorations).

I decided to do them myself, and it’s looking like it will be a little over 50% of the cost.

I have a small floral budget, so I knew I was going to have to DIY my flowers. I managed to find a florist who would buy the flowers for us wholesale and teach me and my bridesmaids to construct the centerpieces and their own bouquets. I’m getting centerpieces for 23 tables, my bouquet, 5 BM bouquets, two corsages, 6 boutonnieres, and cake decor for $500.

we paid about 1800 – 85 for centerpieces. expect your bouquet to be 125-175 (that’s the range of quotes i got). the rest of the money was largely spent on ceremony / entrance arrangement. we didn’t do bouts and corsages.

For one bouquet, three bouts, three coursages, 10 centerpieces, cake flowers, and two very large altar arrangements, we paid $1100. We were able to negotiate no delivery fees and no tax, though, so with those charges our florist would have cost about $1500.

I spent about $1000 on flowers which included 2 large alter pieces, bride’s bouquet and maid of honor’s bouquet, 5 centerpieces.&nbsp; I think that I spent more than I should but the flowers were beautiful. You should consider Costco.&nbsp; They do floral arrangements for a lot less than what I paid for.

My brother’s wedding we had 25 centerpieces, 8 bouquets, 13 bouts, 4 corsages, 2 baskets with roses for flowergirls, floral garland on the balcony banister, a monogramed letter covered in florals, 4 memory bouqets for Grandparents who have passed, Garland hanging from the chandelier, and 4 ferns and large bouqet for ceremony altar, toss bouqet, ribbon w/flower on the outer chair along the asile and unity candles. Also a hair piece with 3 flowers for the Bride.

The bill was $2100 included delivery and set-up. Note: My aunt did the flowers, and she didn’t charge for her labor only the labor of her employees.

@StephinPA – that’s a great idea. If you have a Trader Joe’s near you, they have a great selection of flowers and great prices!

I’m still trying to figure out what I want the florals to look like for our wedding (mostly just bouquets & bouts, and maybe 2 arrangements for our ceremony). I’ve always thought it would be the part of our budget that we could cut back on. I’ve been thinking non-floral certer pieces too.

My florist is actually my mother so I can’t give you a fair quote. I am told that 75% of the cost is labor. The average budget that she works with is around $2000, but she lives in a suburb outside the city. You’re in the city, so I’m sure the prices will end up being a lot more pricey.

If you’re going the DIY route- check out Costco! Besides the wholesaler, they have some of the best prices around on bulk flowers 🙂

OUr quote is currently around $1300 for centerpeices, all bouquets, bouts, etc. The centerpeices are about $34 each and that’s going off of 20 tables. THey’re not even floral-heavy centerpeices- large cylandars filled with water and orchids.
